is @AndroidFindBy not working?

[liqing380]

Env： java-client:1.6.1 Appium:v1.2.0

1:Create class PageObjects

public class PageObjects {
    protected AppiumDriver driver;
    protected CmSelenium2 se2;
    protected CmReport cm;

    public PageObjects(AppiumDriver driver, CmSelenium2 se2) {
        this.se2 = se2;
        this.cm = se2.cm;
        this.driver = driver;
        PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
    }
    public PageObjects() {

    }
    public void initElements(AppiumDriver driver ) {
        this.driver = driver;
        PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
    }
}

2:Create class FolderPage：

import com.mailtech.selenium2.CmSelenium2;
import com.mailtech.selenium2.pageobjects.PageObjects;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;
import  io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.AndroidFindBy;

public class FolderPage extends PageObjects {
    @AndroidFindBy(id="cn.mailtech.app:id/compose")
    public WebElement toMAIl;

    public FolderPage(WebDriver driver, CmSelenium2 se2) {
        super(driver,se2);
    }
}

3. my test code：

FolderPage folderPage=new FolderPage(driver,se2);
            folderPage.toMAIl.click();

error

PageFactory.initElements(driver, this); 

This invocation uses DefaultFieldDecorator (https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium/support/pagefactory/DefaultFieldDecorator.java). It doesn't decorate fields marked by @AndroidFindBy or @iOSFindBy.

Please try this:

PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver), 
pageObject //an instance of PageObject.class
);

Getting Null Pointer Exception on line (String company = companyName.getText();) even though i am using pagefactory Problem with when i use (MobileElement companyName).

plz provide some solution, its blocker for me.

public LoginPage(AndroidDriver driver) { this.driver = driver; PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver, 20,TimeUnit.SECONDS), LoginPage.class); }

@AndroidFindBy(id ="com.octanner.android.performance:id/identityEditText")
 MobileElement companyName;

@AndroidFindBy(id ="com.octanner.android.performance:id/next_page_button")
@CacheLookup
MobileElement nextButton;

public void companyLogin(TestDataReader dataReader){
    try{
        companyName.sendKeys("xyz");

    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

@Anand093 can you open new issue instead of commenting on closed one ? This way your issue will get noticed and tracked properly

[narendra-chandratre]

@Anand093 Did you open or file any new issue in same regards? I am also facing NullPointer while accessing pageFactory elements. Pls share if you got any solution Thanks in advance!

[Anand093]

@narendra-chandratre I figured it out

Before using @AndroidFindBy in page object class write below lines. Hope it will solve your problem, plz let me know if it solves ur issue

public PageObjectClassName(AndroidDriver driver) { this.driver = driver; PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver, 20,TimeUnit.SECONDS), this); }

Note-> I am using appium 1.6.4

[narendra-chandratre]

Still failing :( I am using Appium version 1.8.1, Java-Client version 6.1.0 On which versions its working for you? Can you share pls ?

[Anand093]

@narendra-chandratre this is the pom dependencies & i am using appium 1.6.4

[narendra-chandratre]

Appium 1.6.4 and all above dependancies are you able to run Page Objects and Page Factory comfortably for Android & iOS?

[Anand093]

@narendra-chandratre

Android, its working perfectly, ios i dint try

[narendra-chandratre]

Actually I am still trying to make it work but last hope is to downgrade the appium version :( Thanks a lot @Anand093 for your quick help.

[Anand093]

@narendra-chandratre

Check with the 1.6.4 and mine pom dependencies, i think it should work, even i struggled with this alot, but finally it worked for me.

Below are few helps, if u can get anything out of it.

import statements

import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement; import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver; import io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.AndroidFindBy; import io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.AppiumFieldDecorator;

Capablities static AndroidDriver androidDriver; public Capablities(AndroidDriver androidDriver){ Capablities.androidDriver = androidDriver; }

public static AndroidDriver getAppCapablities(String device, String ip){ try{ capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilities.setCapability(DEVICE_NAME, device); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, ANDROID); capabilities.setCapability(PLATFORM_NAME, ANDROID); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, VERSION_7_1_1); capabilities.setCapability(APP_PACKAGE, YOUR APP PKG); capabilities.setCapability(CLEAR_SYSTEM_FILES, true); capabilities.setCapability(APP_ACTIVITY, YOUR ACTIVITY);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.TAKES_SCREENSHOT, "true"); capabilities.setCapability(AUTO_ACCEPT_ALERT, true); capabilities.setCapability(AUTO_DISMISS_ALERT, true); capabilities.setCapability(ANDROID_EXPORTED, true); capabilities.setCapability(NO_RESET, "true"); capabilities.setCapability(FULL_RESET, "false"); capabilities.setCapability(NATIVE_WEB_TAP, true); // to hide android keyboard capabilities.setCapability(UNICODE_KEYBOARD, true); capabilities.setCapability(RESET_KEYBOARD, true); capabilities.setCapability(NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 120); capabilities.setCapability(SESSION_OVERRIDE, true); capabilities.setCapability(AVD, device);
androidDriver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(ip), capabilities); androidDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(MAX_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

PageObject Class

public YourPageObjectClass(AndroidDriver driver) { this.driver = driver; PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver, 20,TimeUnit.SECONDS), this); util = new ActionUtil(driver); }

@AndroidFindBy(id = "")
@CacheLookup
MobileElement somButton;

Below is the test class from where you are trying to use page object class components.

driver = Capablities.getAppCapablities(device_name, IP2);
YourPageObjectClass= new YourPageObjectClass(driver);
